Unforgettable visit to Jerónimos Monastery - Federico was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging throughout the entire experience. He made sure every question was answered thoroughly and brought a depth of insight that truly enriched the tour. The visit to Jerónimos Monastery was a standout! thanks to Federico, we gained historical context and fascinating details we wouldn’t have discovered on our own. Highly recommend this tour if you want to walk away with more than just pictures!

Fascinating Journey Around Belém - Our tour with Federico in Belém was an enriching experience from start to finish! Federico's deep knowledge and engaging storytelling brought the rich history of Portugal to life, making every stop on the itinerary truly captivating. We began at the awe-inspiring Jerónimos Monastery, where Federico's insights into the monastery's historical significance made the visit incredibly rewarding. Next, we had a coffee (and pastel) break and then continued exploring the Monument to the Discoveries and iconic Belém Tower, where Federico's detailed explanations of its architectural and military details were super interesting. Federico was friendly, and coupled with his impressive expertise, we found his tour not just informative but also highly enjoyable. If you're in Belém, a tour with Federico is a must!

Amazing place with an exceptional guided tour! - The Mosteiro dos Jeronimos is an unmissable stop in Lisbon and visiting it with a guided tour is an experience that enriches you once outside. Federico, our CoolTours guide, was exceptional: full of information but without ever dwelling too much, he illustrated the historical-cultural context in which it was built and showed us details and curiosities about the building and the history of Portugal that otherwise we would never have seen or known. The guided tour lasts approximately one hour, including a visit to the church connected to the monastery. I highly recommend it!

Beautiful sites - Beautiful venues. Lots to see. Great pace. Our only "criticism" (and it's really not much of one) is that there was information overload
